I got the panel completely wired and partially tested. I had to figure a way to turn on the SSRs for the pumps without using the SSR output (Can’t write to the modbus register while in operational mode). I decided to just run through one of the alarm relays and run that way. It works …

I’ve come to need a vehicle to test products I sell for my business. A motorcycle is too limiting for easy change of a motor, so I started looking at Karts. I wanted an offroad kart, but they take up a lot of room and I’d need a trailer. Then I found a nice Race …

Another little update. I’ve been working on the interface some more, as well as getting the panel wired up. I still need to get the low voltage stuff wired to the PID controllers, get the modbus wired and install the wifi dongle/antenna cable. I’m using some of the unused outputs (alarm ouputs) on the PID …

I made some more progress on my electric brew control panel this past weekend. I got everything mounted and ready for wiring. Just some small tweaks and a few more parts and I can mount it to the wall and take it for a spin and brew some beer. This week I’ve been working some …

So I’ve spent a few weekends the last couple months trying to get the control system on the Conviron kegerator worked out. I wanted to use some of the PID controllers I bought, but they seem limited in they don’t have a on-time delay and off-time delay, no ramp/soak and limited output options. I don’t …
